Evaluate security threats and risks in the wider societal context, and understand the main physical threats, detection and mitigation measures in key sectors.

Examines the ways in which behavioural science research has been used to inform security. The different types of threat actors are considered with their aims and targets. The role of media, and managing the positive and negative potential of both the mainstream and social media, is discussed.

Understand the history and underlying science of CBRNE and environmental security and evaluate the threat posed by a wide variety of entities.

Focus on the security of critical national infrastructure and transport systems, introducing the student to key concepts of both, and how security vulnerabilities are analysed

Examine the procedures related to commonly used behavioural research methods and build your appreciation of research ethics.

Explore the principles of environmental sensing, highlighting the context of point and standoff detection/sensor systems. A range of different detection technologies will be covered, including structure-based, chemistry-based and function-based sensors.

Complete an individual research project with the guidance of an academic supervisor. Industry sponsored projects available.

Learn fundamental concepts and necessary tools to understand security risks to cyber-physical systems, focusing on critical infrastructure systems and industrial control systems, and how to protect against these risks.

Develop core entrepreneurial skills by developing a solution to a real-world problem from our industry and government partners.

Through real-world examples, become introduced to the area of materials behaviour under ballistic, explosive and impact loading.

Undertake a short project and produce a critical review in the form of an extended discussion document, white paper, technical review, or theory-oriented study.

Optional modules from other departments may be available at the discretion of the Programme Director. 

These include Physics, Mathematics, Computing, and Civil and Environmental Engineering.

Gain a broad knowledge of network and web security from the network to the application layer and understand underlying principles and techniques.
